I finally checked this spot off my list today and it did not disappoint! I built my own sub and everything was so fresh and crisp. The shop has a great, approachable vibe--it's super clean and feels like a neighborhood staple. The best part was definitely the service; the staff was so patient and friendly while I was putting my order together, which makes a huge difference. I'm already craving another one... I might actually be back tomorrow! read more

Desiato's Deli & Subs - Delis Near Me - Rochester, New York

I walked into Desiato's hungover. It's a sub shop. Not much ambiance to speak of, but I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just an efficient system for making subs and transferring them into my mouth. I said hi to the lady at the counter, and our brief conversation led me to believe that she was also hungover. Sensing this kindred spirit, I asked, "If you were me, what would you order?" "Hot steak sub," came the immediate answer. I believed her, and appreciated that she didn't react with disgust at the thought of being me. So I got a hot steak sub. The largest size they had, with mushrooms and peppers and onions and provolone. It came out, and it was massive. And delicious. Tender steak, plenty of flavor, everything I needed in that moment. I only ate about 3/4 of it, because I knew I'd regret eating the whole thing. Not because of what it would do to my insides, but because my wife loves a steak sub, and I wanted to bring her some. So I did, and she loved it too. read more

Stopped here while driving thru the area for a quick lunch. Fast service, fresh bread, fair prices. Cold sub was good, the warm subs with chicken were a little weird texture and consistency wise. I would skip the hot sub with grilled chicken. Crispy chicken bills sandwich was pretty good and chicken was nice and crisp made in the back. read more

This was my first time ordering the chicken caesar sub and it was a bit lacking for my preference. I ordered it as is- and it definitely needs some changes- perhaps I can customize this next time? I'll have to look at the options. For this review, I wouldn't order it again as is. Would be better if bread is toasted and if the chicken is blackened. I think that would make all the difference! I've also had their tuna salad sub and I like it better than dibellas ! read more

Man, You know i had to pass up the Chicken Finger Subs, for a Meatball Sub. My girl went for the Chicken Fingers since she eats very little red meat. I had to try the meatball. It was big and delicious. I wanted onions, olives and other spices on it, and it was superb. Nice owners and servers here. Come out to Desiato's Deli. Its one of the best. read more

Desiatos is a hidden gem amongst a handful of other sub shops in the area. It stands out because it's locally owned, homemade soups, subs, and meals. Friendly employees who seem to enjoy their jobs.

I stopped in for a breakfast sandwich and 100% will return for lunch. The choices of add ons is amazing. I opted for ham, peppers and onions , and a sweet sauce.

Desiato's Deli & Subs - Breakfast sandwich. Huge!! - Delis Near Me - Rochester, New York

The food is awesome and priced right I've never had a bad sandwich for soup or anything here

Walked right in ordered my sub, he made it exactly how I wanted it. I recommend this place highly, thanks yelp.

Wow ! I never noticed this great sub place before. As I was driving I saw the truck out front of the store with "Desiatos" on the front . I was intrigued and the minute I got home I looked it up. Well I'm very glad I did because I ordered ASAP. I was craving a good sub and they went above and beyond. The subs are filled!! But what makes it THE BEST is the homemade fresh bread. It was phenomenal . The service was kind and fast as well. Plus when I walked in it smelled clean ! Great prices for the best of the best !! read more

Desiatos Deli & Subs provided catering for our team dinner, where we ordered 52 subs for a group of college lacrosse players after their game. Megan was fantastic to work with! She personally wrapped each sub so the players could easily take them on the go. I had to adjust the pick-up time the day before, and the team at Desiatos was very accommodating. I'll definitely be returning in the future! read more

If you are a breakfast sandwich person, you have got to give them a try. $5 gets you a 6" (homemade!) roll, eggs, your choice of meat (bacon, ham, sausage), your choice of cheese (American, swiss, provolone, shredded cheddar), AND grilled veggies (peppers, onions, and/or mushrooms). AND it comes with a free coffee! I can't believe I've gone so long without knowing about them. The food was hot, fresh, quick, and delicious. They were good about COVID protocols and I was on my way in less than ten minutes. I will definitely be back to try their lunch menu as well! read more

Desiato's Deli & Subs - Look at this breakfast sandwich THAT WAS $5. Eggs, meat of choice, cheese of choice, grilled peppers, onions, mushrooms! - Delis Near Me - Rochester, New York

After reading many glowing reviews of this place, particularly in regards to prices and portions, I decided to drop in today. Luckily for me, the special today was Beef on Weck - one of my faves. Unluckily for Desiatos, it's a tough task to compete with the beef on weck served at Pok-A-Dot (Batavia) and at Charlie the Butcher (Buffalo). I'm also not sure if the reviews that I read were pre-pandemic or not, but a small was $7 and DEFINITELY very small. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and service was extremely fast. As for the food - the roll was excellent, but the meat was not. I'd say it was average. The size of roll dominated the minor amount of meat. Also, I haven't seen a beef on weck before where the meat was so red, and it showed absolutely no signs of being dipped or soaked in any sort of au jus (neither did the roll). Typically, this is supposed to be a messy sandwich, but this one was neat and tidy. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't mind blowing either. I was still hungry after eating it. read more

This was our first trip to Desiato's, and it went like this...First off there's plenty of off-street parking in this little strip plaza...Next the joint is clean, very clean and that's always a good thing...The staff at the counter were super friendly and that's always a nice touch nowadays...We ordered a large cheeseburger sub on a sesame roll with onions, cheese, lettuce, mayo and meat sauce...Folks it was a monster and so tasty and well prepared for sure...This baby was at least 14 inches long and baked to perfection...We also got an order of well-done fries and again it was yet another triumph of flavor and a good size portion to boot...The damage was about $19.00 with tax...Folks this place serves it up BIG time and we'll definitely be back soon, real soon...You gotta check this place out... read more

The food is great from the breakfast garbage plates to the subs to the soups everything's very good and I highly recommend it

These people in Iowa have strange feet. I've seen many normal toes and many weird toes in my days, but none more unusual than "Dese IA Toes." Okay, no, I can't back that up. I'm not really an afficionatoe on those kinds of things. Oops. Freudian flip. Flops. I mean slip. Damnit. What to get: Breakfast sandwich but they only serve them til 11. What else: Gumbo but they only have it from around 11. So what else: Well you should get there a little before 11 so you can get both! Yeah, what else: They're in the same plaza as the amazing Bombay Chaat House. And what else: Stop being demanding and let me get on with the review. I went to India and asked for a black coffee, but they only had white coffee down there. They call them "Desilattés." Curious. Desiatos has one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had anywhere. It's absolutely enormous and it isn't overpriced either, around $5 for basically a huge breakfast sub on absolutely amazing homemade bread. Did you know that the Atolls out in the Pacific were used for Nuclear testing? Those must now be some radioactive, "Deadlyatolls." The service is pretty good and most of the things here are homemade. I wasn't crazy about their roast beef sub. I think because they are minimalists, so if you want it loaded with all kinds of great stuff you have to specify exactly what you want on it, otherwise it ends up coming out pretty bland and ordinary tasting. Why does Ashton Kutcher's older ex never seem to look any older, ever? From when she was in Ghost to GI Jane to Striptease to now. I call her "Demiageless." The soups are really good too. The homemade Chili is nice, not the best I've ever had but tasty. The Gumbo on the other hand is surprisingly excellent. A lot of places really butcher gumbo (no pun intended) especially over in Buffalo. Not Desiato's. They have it exactly right. I would avoid the roast beef and get a brekky and some gumbo. And whatever you do, don't go to a breakfast sit down chain instead of coming here. If for no other reason than the chain has really bad service. The waiters are all jerks. You wouldn't want to have to deal with those "Dennysassh*les." Now would you. read more

Good hard working employees. Subs are nothing less of amazing. Overall not a single complaint

This place was recommended to us, and it ROCKED! Hubby had the Desi Dog Plate, and it's basically a garbage plate. I had a veggie sub. I ordered a medium one and it was HUGE. Home fries were great, too! read more

If your like me you've passed this place enough times and said "I need to try it." So today I did.. It's in a strip mall, you walk in its all white and clean. Plenty of places to sit and plenty of stuff to order. Subs, salads & etc. Yes they have those soup specials.. But that bread.. It's soft and easy to eat.. The toppings the usual suspects.. I liked my sub but it needed something.. Maybe I should have gotten some gardenire or something for a little bite/heat. Everything is super fresh.. Prices are good and the small its LARGE... No joke. For sure I will be back to try the soups, cookies and more subs. Try them... Cheers read more

Desiato's Deli & Subs - Roast Beef on Wheat - Delis Near Me - Rochester, New York

Pretty good sandwich spot. A large sub is a "large" sub, so you better be hungry. Picked up an Italian Assorted. Provolone, lettuce, banana peppers, on a seeded roll. Good sub, good price, good customer service. read more

Tuna melt was really good! My first time here; I'll definitely be back. Fast service & the staff seemed very nice as well.

Outstanding service being being new to the area it was great to find this place. The food is so good. Very comfortable place to enjoy lunch.

Made a second trip this time meeting up with a friend. We decided to split a large meatball and mozzarella sub, this thing was more than enough for two people. Great service and nice people, we decided to sit at one of the tables outside in the shade. They have excellent house made rolls, the meatballs and sauce had good flavor but they were barely warm and the cheese was fresh from the fridge cold a real let down.. Dropped a star on the rating as they weren't busy when we were there and it's not that hard to put a hot sandwich out hot, as it still being covid I didn't want to take it back in to be heated regulations would have probably not allowed it being already handled by us. read more

Fast And friendly. Had their beef on weck special of the day- a great classic done well. Glad I went! read more

Desiato's Deli & Subs - Free cookie day! Beef on weck. - Delis Near Me - Rochester, New York

This place is great! The food and the people there make my day everyday, literally. I go there everyday for lunch!

While lots of places offer soup options you can't beat Desiato's. They usually have two soups plus chili on special every day and, unlike so many places, all of them are obviously homemade. My go to is a bowl of soup and a small sub which fills me up and often leaves some to take home for later. The bread, soooo good, is freshly baked daily. I always save the specials calendar for each month so I make sure I don't miss out on the goulash or any of the other great daily specials. read more

There are a number of reasons to go here: 1. The breakfast sandwiches. For less than 5 bucks, you get a sandwich with fresh bread, egg they make right in front of you and your choice of meat/veggies/cheese and it is the size of your head. You can get a free coffee with it too. I can't think of anywhere else where you get that much for so little money, and it's enough to keep you full all day. They generally stop serving them at 11, but on more than one occasion they've been nice enough to make them for me after noon because I lost track of time (oops). 2. Homemade soups and rotating specials. Often with something free. You can look at the menu on their website and figure out when you want to come in, but they've got everything from beef on weck to italian wedding soup available on a weekly basis. 3. Family owned - a nice alternative to all of the chains in the area. 4. You can order online with grubhub. They generally have discount cards in the store, so pick one up when you go in then get your co-workers to put an order together next time! read more

Was hangry and late to lunch by about 3 Hours and this place really hit the spot. You can miss if you speed through the intersection but take a u turn and get yourself a sub! The small was not small at all and the bread so was so fresh. Turkey was turkey but hey that's usually what you get with a turkey sub! Very quick and delish I recommend trying this locally owned family place for your next sub stop! read more

Just came to Henrietta for a short visit and needed a quick bite, this spot was delicious! Will definitely stop by again when I return.

The food here is incredible. The biggest breakfast sammich in rochester. Highly recommend this joint! read more

Desiato's Deli & Subs - Delis Near Me - Rochester, New York

Best steak sub I've ever had in my life. I got a large steak sub with plain toasted bread, provolone cheese, grilled onions, grilled peppers, extra mayonnaise and extra meat hot sauce. It was exquisite! read more

This place has a lot of GREAT elements but overall they don't add up for me. I consider the subs to just be 'okay'. The bread is amazing, you can tell its freshly baked and not in some machine like device. It actually seems handmade. The prices are pretty good, about 9 bucks for a large which is on par with the rest of the places locally I've tried. The staff is friendly and the place is clean and inviting. I guess its the cold cuts that don't impress me. They taste okay but the texture is weird making me think its some lower end branch of meat, more like shopping at Tops deli instead of getting your meat at Wegmans. Still, the sandwiches are filling and it beats Subway or Jimmy Johns by a mile! And I have to agree with another Yelper who posted about the Beef on Weck. This aint it. Don't even call it that please! You gotta have a real salty Kimmelweck roll and the roast beef they are using just isn't up to pulling it off. For the price, it was not what I would consider a 'special' by any means. I hate to knock a small business so let me add this....the chili is some of the best I've ever had! Its obviously homemade and not some doctored up canned version. The other side salads seem to be made on site as well. I'd go back anytime just to get another bowl of that chili tho....maybe with one of those subs rolls buttered up to dunk into it... read more

Clean establishment. I am happy about this. I have gone here a few times and each the staff is polite and sanitary, while the everything organized for quick service. Food is gross. I ordered a cup of what i expected to be chili, and i received a loose meat soup instead. I would suggest not ordering anything other than the sandwiches. read more

Fresh baked in house bread, amazing sub choices, friendly staff and good prices. Only comment the pickles are like a half sour instead of the standard dill, still very good, just putting it out there so you are not surprised. We'll deserving of its 100% rating on urban spoon. First!! read more
